“Did you know that every
animal, plant and structure on this planet has consciousness and
desires to gift to you?”

This is a book that
teaches us how to unlock a part of ourselves that we once had as a
child and have learnt to shut off due to the exigencies of modern
living. Nowhere is the lack of this wisdom more evident than in our
dealings with the animals under our care. In this book, the authors
lay out the basis for the ground rules that operate for anyone to
work with the animal kingdom and the bent of mind required to be able
to communicate with them. How they do this makes very light reading
and is a candid reflection of how far we, as a species have
come from being a heart- based consciousness to being a brain- based
one. As the authors say, “working with energy is not a doingness,
it’s an unlocking. We’re unlocking stuck energies and allowing
energy to flow”.

The core issue that makes
animals dependent on us is that they do not perceive any boundaries
between themselves and their owners. Therefore, they become
surrogates for their owner’s physical or mental problems. As the
authors put it “One of the greatest gifts that animals give
us is the way they receive from us without any judgement or
limitation”.

After talking about the
need to be receptive in order to attune ourselves to the beat of a
different drum, the authors present a potpourri of techniques that
can come in handy while dealing with problems faced by the animals
under our care. These tools are presented with an ample number of
case studies and include entity removal, activating cellular
memory,, implants from past lives, problems with neural circuitry and
so on. They further focus on the basic rules of the communication
process with animals, e.g. the need to be completely free of vested
interests in the outcome and to remember that the role of the healer
is only to facilitate the healing, not doing it. Most of the animals
discussed are horses and dogs and the importance of giving them
sufficient space to operate in is also dealt with.

The techniques and methods
discussed in this book could well apply to human beings. However,
human beings tend to frame their situation in intellectual terms, and
so the focus on the exact problem is diminished. Working with animals
is different in the sense that “they will let you know everything
you need to know, be, perceive and receive.” If an animal decides
that you’re not receptive, it will turn around and walk away.

As mentioned above, like
all the Access Consciousness books, this is a light, humorous and
extremely well written read.
